DISCLAIMER: Nothing's mine, except the specific order in which these words are placed. The same goes for the rest of the chapters, too. The characters, places, etc, aren't mine, they all belong to other people (namely J.K. Rowling), so don't sue me, please!

A/N: It's really short again, I know, but that's the best I could do. I still need some reviews, please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ch. 4

Change of Heart

Luna Lovegood didn't know why she ran off like that. It wasn't like her to avoid questions, but she didn't think she could answer the one he was about to ask. "Why did I have to say that?" She asked herself out loud. And when she received no answer, she asked Ginny, knowing that she would have to explain herself.

"Luna, I don't know. Neither does Neville, actually, he was asking me about it."

"WHAT?!?!"

"Yeah, he wanted to know what was up with you. Apparently he found you crying, and you walked around outside and talked, and you got all weird and ran off."

"Umm, yeah, the thing about that is, I…"

"Luna, I know you like Neville. You should tell him, he was really worried about you. He deserves to know."

Neville woke up Sunday morning smiling, though it took him a minute to remember why. He was the first person awake, and he walked out to the grounds to watch the sun rise. He found himself sitting at the exact same place near the lake where he sat with Luna the day before. And he saw Luna sitting there too. When the sun was completely up, and the sky was a bright blue, he was about to stand up and walk back to the castle when Luna's voice anchored him to the ground.

"Neville," she said, voice shaking slightly. "There's something I ought to tell you. But I'm not exactly sure how. Neville…" She never finished her sentence. Neville said something he had been wanting to say all morning.

"Luna, I think I might like you." And this time, it was he who walked off, leaving a very surprised Luna thinking that the sky had never been that beautiful.
